This song really is a show off for all Tom Lehrer's talents and it will stay with us as long as multi racial societies exists on this earth. No, as long as there are people on this earth :-) If you visit the channel front page, you can also watch another version of the song with Lehrer's intro.

Yes, Lehrer said "OK" to "The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel", as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the YouTube flash video format. Do NOT ask for any video originals, ever again.

Click on the Lehrer icon and visit the channel's front page. The channel is Lehrer only. And here is a link to a NEW channel support page:

Cassius Clay and Mrs. Wallace are mentioned in this song, but were not mentioned in the original recording. The two (little known) people mentioned in the original recording were:

Lena Horne, born 1917, was a mulatto lounge singer, active in the 1960's, who became the first black American movie star when she signed a contract with MGM in 1942. Sheriff Jim Clark of Selma, Alabama, was responsible for several violent arrests of Civil Rights protestors, over the wishes of Selma mayor Joseph Smitherman, who wanted to bring industry to the town, and didn't want the negative publicity that violence would bring.

    Dear Dr. Lehrer

    I suppose that you are reading all these comments behind your curtain of integrety.

    I heard your songs in my youth on the Danish State Radio.

    I just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY - and to thank you for all fabulous songs.

    They opened a new world to a fourteen-year old girl.

    My favourites are "An Irish Ballad" and "Poisoning Pidgeons in the Park" - and, of course... "We'll all go together when we go".

    Play the piano again - give us a song about Iraq!
    Please!

  • The original or ...

    The original or maybe changed lyrics were "Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark were dancing cheek to cheek." James Clark was the sheriff that sought to break violently the march to Selma at the Edmund Pettis Bridge.

    Wow I'm so glad I found these vids. I first heard Tom Lehrer in a science class when the Elements song was played in one of those dire instructional meant to be educational videos. I didn't learn any chemistry but I was so impressed with the song I looked him up and bought a cd. I ended up liking him so much I bought some more and now I'm hooked lol.
    Thanks for posting these!
